What is a good dinghy tow rope and painter? Should float well enough
that it doesn't get sucked into the prop but still pleasant to handle
and hold knots well.

The Mizzen boom! Put a preventer on it to hold it out to whichever side
you like. Tows the dink well under power in the ditch. In port, tie up
the dink to the outhaul car to you can easily retrieve it alongside the
boarding ladder to board. Haul the dink out to the end for "storage" so
it can't bump into anything it might scratch.

Isn't that why they put that little car on top of the mizzen boom,
anyways?...(c;
